Domantas Sabonis ties post-merger record for consecutive double-doubles in win at Orlando
It was a back-and-forth game that entered the fourth quarter tied in Orlando Saturday night, but De’Aaron Fox sank two late free throws to give the Sacramento Kings the lead as they hung on late to beat the Magic 109-107. Domantas Sabonis finished the game with 21 points, 15 rebounds and 8 assists, making it his 53rd consecutive double-double and tying Kevin Love for the longest such streak since the ABA-NBA merger. He will have a chance to break that record Monday when the Kings take on the Philadelphia 76ers at the Golden1 Center.

Sabonis might be one of the strongest dudes in the NBA and Isaac wiped out a point-blank dunk attempt without bending his wrist. – 7:29 PM
